Top pick: #6 (REACHING OUT) - Colt is from the first crop of "Derby" and Preakness winner "Big Brown" and was bred and is owned by Paul Pompa Jr. and trained by Rick Dutrow, the connections of that talented runner. Working very fast for his debut and Ramon Dominguez is aboard for Dutrow, a powerful 305 winning combination.
2nd pick: #5 (Fierce Face) - Colt finished 34d when debuting here for a $50K tag on Sep 14th and did so despite being "bumped" hard right after the break. He's worked since and runs off a private trainer change to John Hertler.
3rd pick: #8 (Knockher Off) - Grey son of "Unbridled's Song" has some solid works showing and is a home-bred by New York's "Breeders of the Year", Chester & Mary Broman. Trainer Jimmy Jerkens had a debuting runner win here yesterday at odds of 13-1.
